Friday night gear change

Another one from Shania Twain. The song "Whose bed have your boots been under?"* gets tedious after two minutes or so, so they drag it out for a bit, waiting for inspiration and when all hope is flagging there's a gearchange at 3 minutes 14 seconds. It's textbook stuff: the Big Drum Beat, the split second pause, and away we go again a tone higher, followed by a fade-out that drags on for nearly a minute.



* It'd be cooler if the song had been called "Under whose bed have your boots been?".

You like young Shania, don't you?

she is a beauty, her music I am not so into.

I'm trying to work out whether the so-called "gear change" is highlighted because it is a good thing or a bad thing.

Miss Twang certainly has a fine pair of lungs on her, although I didn't see the need for her to suggest that her gentleman friend had enjoyed a dalliance with Benny Hill.

JJH, K, SU, "Yes" is the short answer.

TFB, I highlight gearchanges because they are the most insufferably awful device known to pop music. But in a perverse way I like them.

However dont worry too much because your instructor will have a break and clutch on his side while you drive just incase you stall or do something silly.

Actually, you can't change the color of the gear. The gear comes in the color you purchased it in. If you can't purchase it in purple, you can't have purple. That has been one of the criticisms of the game.
